Attractive and practical 29" high hostess cart, or tea wagon, has a drawer for napkins or silver and a handle that folds down. The hinged leaves provide a large 43" x 30" serving area and also fold down to make the top only 21" x 30" when not in use. The well designed turnings provide some interesting work for the wood turner, but could be made plain or tapered. Quite detailed full size patterns are provided for the wheels if you'd like to make them yourself, but woodworking specialty stores carry wheels such as these for purchase.

This is a blueprint style plan which is heralded by beginners and experts alike as being a pleasure to work from because all parts are printed in full size -- all joinery is shown in actual size, curved workpieces are all in full size, therefore you can measure and trace straight from the drawing if necessary. A bill of materials doubles as an exact cutting list, there is a detailed exploded diagram, and all hardware requirements are provided. The exploded diagram so detailed that project specific assembly instructions are not provided. A special booklet entitled Guide to Building Wood Furniture is included with each Furniture Designs, Inc. plan and includes many tips explaining the "component theory" of woodworking.
